About
Dubai Marina is a modern waterfront district in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. It is built around a man-made marina, and it is often known as the Dubai Marina Walk or simply the Marina District. The area is one of the largest man-made marinas in the world, and it gives the city a distinctive skyline of high-rise towers rising straight from the water's edge.
What to expect
The district is best experienced on foot. A waterside promenade runs along the marina, where visitors can stroll past moored luxury yachts and look up at the residential towers that line the shore. The setting is especially pleasant in the evening, when the buildings and the water reflect the lights of the city.
- Waterfront dining, with restaurants and cafés facing the marina
- Views of luxury yachts and the working harbour life of the water
- A modern, planned district that feels very different from the older quarters of Dubai
Planning your visit
Dubai Marina is an easy base for a relaxed day or evening out. Because it is a residential and leisure district rather than a single attraction with fixed entry, you can come and go as you please. If you would like to check on any particular restaurant, boat trip or event along the waterfront before you go, the district can be reached by telephone at +971 4 362 7171.
The marina suits visitors who enjoy watching a city at its most polished, combining the sea, modern architecture and a lively dining scene in one walkable area.
